The Jin State continued the old system of the Great Chu of the previous dynasty. There is a small court in three days, a big court in five days, and a big court meeting on the Shuowang day, which is the big scene of the hundred officials in the Qing palace drama. The highest standard is the annual annual first day of the year, that is, the first day of the first month, which is the emperor to meet all the ministers and high-ranking officials, feudal officials, envoys, royal clans, the high standard, the cost is unimaginable.

Today is the small dynasty, and there are not many people in the last dynasty, which is considered a routine. It is not in the main hall of the Chengtian Temple, but only in the side hall. Even so, Xie Shence is not eligible to participate.

Xie Shence has no real official status, only a dismissal of Captain Zhaowu. It sounds good, the captain of the sixth grade can manage hundreds of people, but you must know that in the entire Jin capital, there are hundreds of captains of Zhaowu alone!

What do you mean?

This is an idle position, a Qingshui yamen specially arranged for the children of noble meritorious families, except for his own servants, there is not a single officially registered soldier. Even the power of the city gate division, a Zhenwei captain from the sixth grade, is not as good! is the same as a loose official, and there is such a big difference in rank and power. Of course, Xie Shence also knew that although Captain Zhenwu was a loose official in this dynasty, he was led by the rank of captain of the left and right prison gates, and was responsible for guarding the city gates, of course, it was not comparable to the casual duties of Captain Zhaowu, who specialized in raising idlers.

Therefore, it is natural for God to wait for the summons in the side hall of the side hall. It's just that this summoning can't be in the side hall now, and you have to wait for the emperor to finish today's small court meeting, right?

Xie Shence got up early in the morning and entered the palace with his father Xie Shang, until it was almost noon, and he waited for a whole morning and sat in the small side hall for several hours.

It's not that he's not in a hurry, it's that he doesn't dare to show it in a hurry, who knows if the little eunuch in the palace will report his every move to the emperor or the queen's aunt. So he behaved extremely calmly, except for the curiosity about the palace building at the beginning and a few gossips with the little eunuch, he didn't say a word. In fact, it's not that Xie Shence doesn't talk to the little eunuchs, but the little eunuchs collectively shut up when they say a few more words, and they don't say a word, which really makes little Brother Xie helpless.

It was easy to sit until his buttocks were about to get sores, and Xie Shence finally met an acquaintance, an acquaintance who had met once, Gonggong Cai.

The pilgrimage meeting is finally over.

Gonggong Cai obviously has a very high status in the palace, and all the little eunuchs bowed their heads and bent over their luggage to greet him, but Gonggong Cai ignored it, and walked straight to Xie Shence and said: "The little marquis has been waiting for a long time, Your Majesty has summoned you to the side hall, and the old slave has come to report." ”

Since learning about Cai's father-in-law's status from his grandfather, Xie Shence has become more and more polite. In addition, Gonggong Cai was also extremely respectful, so he said: "Don't dare, don't dare, Master Lao will lead the way." ”

Then Xie Shence followed Cai Gonggong through the flower corridor, and after turning a few corners, he came to the side hall of the small court.

Brother Xiao Xie walked all the way, scanning the scenery in the palace out of the corner of his eye. This palace is mainly blue, gold, and red, which is very atmospheric and rich, and it inherits the prosperous style of the Great Chu Dynasty very distinctly.

Entering the side hall, there were only two people, first Xie Xiang, who was sitting in the palace, and when he looked up, he saw the emperor sitting in the hall.

Dressed in a dragon robe with a gold silk embroidered blue satin as the bottom, because the small court meeting is over, he is not crowned, his hair is tied into a bunch, and he is placed behind his head at will, his face is extremely angular and handsome, with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a straight nose bridge, and thin lips are closed, just like the Dongchang Governor Yuhuatian played by Chen Kun in that time and space, there is a feminine beauty. Of course, Xie Shence understood that the man sitting high on the main hall in front of him was an authentic man, and he was the master of the number one power today.

Just when Xie Shence was still in the fugue, he was suddenly interrupted by a "bold", and Xie Shang hurriedly pleaded with the emperor: "The dog has been outside since he was a child, and the ministers have neglected to discipline him, and he has seen the face of heaven, so that he is rude, and he is guilty of capital crimes. ”

Xie Shence realized that he had indeed lost his manners, although he didn't want to kneel, but he could only follow Xie Sheng to kneel down and ask for guilt.

The emperor naturally didn't care about these details, smiled and let the father and son calm down, and then motioned to Gonggong Cai to read out the will. Xie Shence knelt down again and listened carefully to see how the emperor would reward him.

The beginning of the edict is not Xie Shence's familiar "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict", but the similar meaning of "Chengtian's luck, Fengtianzi's edict". followed by "A certain year, month and day, thank Shen Ce Jia Taixue Doctor"

Doctor of Taixue? What is this?!

Xie En, took over the decree, the emperor left Xie Shang and sent Xie Shence to the harem, saying that the queen wanted to see him.

The harem is not something that can be entered casually. The people of this dynasty are martial arts, but the upper-class nobles turn to martial arts and literature, like to talk, and advocate free and uninhibited, which can be seen from the emperor's small court meeting actually tied his hair and went to the crown. Of course, the courage to face the endless saliva of the old scholars also reflects the emperor's strong and hard-line monarchy from the side.

However, if you think that the openness of men and women in the folk is also applicable in the palace, you will die a miserable death.

In addition to the eunuchs who can be summoned to enter and exit the palace gate at any time, even the guards are extremely strict in entering and exiting, and they are not allowed to change or ask for leave at will unless the queen's will is directed, which is basically a big cage. And if outsiders want to enter, unless you are the prince, there is no personal decree from the emperor and queen, and trespassers will be killed.

Gonggong Cai led Xie Shence all the way around the way, making Xie Shence's mind dizzy, and when it was noon, he was hungry, so he was very impatient.

After a long time, I finally arrived at the Changchun Palace where the queen lived.

When he arrived at Changchun Palace, he still couldn't get the queen's summons, and the chief eunuch of Changchun Palace said that the queen was preparing for dinner. Xie Shence was furious: Do you have to wait until you finish eating and see me?

When Xie Shence was secretly slandering, I saw a little eunuch trotting all the way to the chief eunuch whispering in the ear for a while. The eunuch of the general consul immediately put on a happy and smiling face, and said to Xie Shence: "The little marquis, please come with the old slave, the queen mother learned that the little marquis was waiting in the small council hall for a long time, and she was afraid of hunger. Little Marquis, please go with the old slave. ”

Thank you for your gratitude and keep up with you. Secretly said: When I meet, I will give a dismount, and then throw a sweet date, should I be moved to cry, or should I be moved to cry, the queen will give a banquet, so big face. Do you have a 3 foot lobster?

Before entering the main hall, I heard a burst of laughter. Xie Shence thought that the one who could smile so happily in front of the queen's palace should not be a princess herself, the queen had two sons and a daughter, and the youngest daughter, Princess Wanting, was also fifteen, which was about the same age as herself, and it was crisp to listen to this voice, but I didn't know if she looked good or not.

After entering the garden and coming to the pavilion surrounded by a half-height flower screen, Xie Shence actually found that his mother was also there. It's okay, you don't have to be too restrained, I didn't plan to be full, but now I can let go a little. He is not afraid of losing face, especially in front of his mother.

The family had had a feeling that he couldn't see through since yesterday, so he didn't mind letting himself lose his temper in front of the most noble woman in the world, to see how the mother reacted.

Seeing someone coming, everyone in the pavilion stopped laughing, and when the chief eunuch reported, a woman in palace clothes sitting in the first place asked, "You are Xie Shence?" ”

There is no doubt that this is the queen, thank Shence and salute: "It's Weichen, Weichen has seen the queen's mother." ”

The queen smiled: "What ministers are not ministers, in this palace, every day I hear that they are either slaves or micro-ministers." Today is a family banquet, your mother is also here, your sister-in-law is also there, I am your aunt, so don't be so angry. ”

The mother also said, "Your aunt speaks, you just listen and do it." ”

Xie Shence hurriedly said: "Shence has seen my aunt, Sister Wanting. ”

The queen smiled: "Good boy, take a seat." Come, sit next to my aunt, I haven't seen her for more than ten years, I have to let my aunt take a good look. As he spoke, he asked Xie Shence to come to his side and took Xie Shence's hand and sat down. said: "Yo, you really look like your father when he was young, look at how your aunt raised you, you are really a talent." It is worthy of being taught by the flower of Jinyang back then, Huaiyang Road is a good place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is a good place to raise people. ”

Xie Shence's hands were held by the queen's aunt, and she only felt cool and round, thinking that the hands of such a forty-year-old woman were actually comparable to that of a girl, it was really demonic.

Holding back the goosebumps, Xie Shence lowered his head and replied carefully: "Back to my aunt's words, Huaiyang Road is indeed beautiful with mountains and rivers, different from the spectacular and majestic land of the Central Plains. My aunt once had a poem nostalgic for the customs of the northern land. ”

Princess Wanting was curious: "Oh? What is the poem? ”

Xie Shence said: "The desert Xiongguan is really like iron, and the general Guan Shan jumps from the beginning. Hand in hand in the trenches, I don't see the old people in Jiangnan. ”

"Good poetry!" As soon as the words fell, the queen immediately clapped her hands and applauded. "It's just that there are many grievances in the poem, but I don't know why?"

Xie Shence said: "It was my aunt who recalled the battle of Hanguguan back then. Because there are many veterans in the Huai army, they have been fighting outside the country for ten years, but when they return home, they are not people, so they feel it. ”

Princess Wanting was dissatisfied when she heard this, and her delicate eyebrows frowned: "Nonsense, the imperial court has always treated the old soldiers who returned to their hometowns well, and there is as miserable as you said." ”

The queen smiled: "You are a daughter born in the royal family, how do you know the hard work of the sergeant, your father and the emperor have reduced many border troops in recent years, and the silver and materials turned to the border army are much better than in previous years." How can the life of the returning soldiers still be like this? ”

The last sentence is to ask Xie Shence.

Xie Shence hurriedly replied: "Princess Niangniang misunderstood, what my aunt said was that she was a confidante back then, and she hadn't seen her for ten years, and she had already married another woman, and she would never be the same again, so she was sad." But it's not because of the hardships of life. As for the treatment of sergeants, what Shen Ce has seen and heard in the Huai army is related to the difficulties. My uncle often said that today, in addition to the imperial city armies of the nations, the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty are the most blessed. ”

"Hahaha, Wanting, listen, the queen mother said that you don't need to study hard, you see, I misinterpreted your aunt's poem. Ugly in public, right? ”

Princess Wanting didn't feel ugly at all, and said with a smile: "Hehe, my daughter is too lazy to shake her head with the old man in Taixue, stupid, I'm bored." ”

The queen shook her head and said: "You girl, you only know how to play crazy, you have no Shuyi, how to marry in the future." ”

"Then I won't marry for the rest of my life, and my daughter will accompany her father and queen mother for the rest of her life."

When the queen heard this, she pretended to be angry and scolded: "Splashy look, how can there be a daughter who doesn't get married, and I will throw you to an unknown family to marry another day!" ”

"How can the queen mother be reluctant?"

Xie Shence heard the mother and daughter laughing and scolding, and it was extremely harmonious. I can't help but sigh that the emperor and empress's doting on this daughter is really to the extreme. Not to mention anything else, in Chuzhou, in addition to a few special children, the third generation of the Wang family saw Wang Laoshangshu and his parents like a mouse seeing a cat, where there was a lot of laughter, not to mention this kind of joke in the marriage event. Ordinary rich and noble families rarely see family affection, let alone heavenly families.

Xie Shence himself deeply understands that the woman sitting opposite is his biological mother, and talking to him for ten years is not like gold.
